Why nasal breathing is so important – and how OAMU supports you

In a world where everything is getting faster, louder and more hectic, we often forget the simplest thing – to breathe properly.
Most people unconsciously breathe through their mouths. However, nasal breathing is not only more natural, but also healthier and more effective .

The function of the nose: More than just breathing

Our nose is a small miracle. It filters , humidifies , and warms the air before it reaches the lungs.
Dust, pollen, viruses – all of these are stopped in the nose. The air we breathe is optimally prepared.
Mouth breathing cannot do that.

Better oxygen uptake

Nasal breathing produces nitric oxide (NO) – a gas produced by the body that dilates blood vessels and thus improves oxygen uptake.
The result? More energy , a more stable circulation , and calmer breathing .

Breathe yourself into better sleep

Those who sleep through their mouth risk snoring, a dry throat or even breathing pauses (sleep apnea).
Nasal breathing helps you sleep deeper and more peacefully – without any additional devices or medication.

More performance in sports

When exercising, nasal breathing ensures a regular breathing rhythm, reduces the heart rate and helps you last longer – whether jogging, doing yoga or strength training.

Protection for teeth and immune system

Mouth breathing dries out the mucous membranes, which can lead to bad breath, tooth decay, and inflammation .
The nose not only protects your respiratory tract, but also your teeth, gums and immune system .
